Amateur career

Rymer was born in Cleveland, Tennessee and grew up in Fort Mill, South Carolina.[1] Rymer played college golf at Georgia Tech, where he was a third-team All-American in 1988 and an honorable mention All-American in 1989. He won five tournaments during his time at Georgia Tech. He was inducted into the Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000.[2] He also won the U.S. Junior Amateur in 1985.

Professional career

Rymer joined the Nike Tour in 1994. He won the 1994 Nike South Carolina Classic and then recorded a runner-up finish the following week at the Nike Central Georgia Open. He earned his PGA Tour card for 1995 through qualifying school. He recorded his career best finish on the PGA Tour in 1995 at the Shell Houston Open, third place, and his career best money list finish at 103rd. In 1996, he finished 145th on the money list, good enough for partial status on Tour the following year. He split time between the PGA Tour and the Nike Tour in 1997. He played on the Nike Tour in 1998, his last year on Tour.
